Legion wasn’t perfect but it was certainly complex and ambitious. Made by the same guy too.

That was released seven years ago. Point I'm making is Noah Hawley was able to make a name for himself writing these complex series before the current crunch caused a situation where a first time showrunner wouldn't be allowed to.

You might see a parallel to the New Hollywood movement that started in the late sixties and ended in the late seventies.

Noah Hawley is creating an Alien show. I'm cautiously excited.

I didn't know that. I'll definitely watch it.
